The entire content of the applications referenced above are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to novel compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, to processes for making the compounds and to the use of the compounds in therapy. More particularly, it relates to pyrrolidinyl urea and pyrrolidinyl thiourea compounds which exhibit TrkA kinase inhibition, and which are useful in the treatment of pain, cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases and certain infectious diseases.
The current treatment regimens for pain conditions utilize several classes of compounds. The opioids (such as morphine) have several drawbacks including emetic, constipatory and negative respiratory effects, as well as the potential for addictions. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics (NSAIDs, such as COX-1 or COX-2 types) also have drawbacks including insufficient efficacy in treating severe pain. In addition, COX-1 inhibitors can cause ulcers of the mucosa. Accordingly, there is a continuing need for new and more effective treatments for the relief of pain, especially chronic pain.
Trk's are the high affinity receptor tyrosine kinases activated by a group of soluble growth factors called neurotrophins (NT). The Trk receptor family has three members: TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. Among the neurotrophins are (i) nerve growth factor (NGF) which activates TrkA, (ii) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and NT-4/5 which activate TrkB and (iii) NT3 which activates TrkC. Trk's are widely expressed in neuronal tissue and are implicated in the maintenance, signaling and survival of neuronal cells (Patapoutian, A. et al., Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2001, 11, 272-280).
Inhibitors of the Trk/neurotrophin pathway have been demonstrated to be effective in numerous pre-clinical animal models of pain. For example, antagonistic NGF and TrkA antibodies such as RN-624 have been shown to be efficacious in inflammatory and neuropathic pain animal models (Woolf, C. J. et al. (1994) Neuroscience 62, 327-331; Zahn, P. K. et al. (2004)J. Pain 5, 157-163; McMahon, S. B. et al., (1995) Nat. Med. 1, 774-780; Ma, Q. P. and Woolf, C. J. (1997) NeuroReport 8, 807-810; Shelton, D. L. et al. (2005) Pain 116, 8-16; Delafoy, L. et al. (2003) Pain 105, 489-497; Lamb, K. et al. (2003) Neurogastroenterol. Motil. 15, 355-361; Jaggar, S. I. et al. (1999) Br. J. Anaesth. 83, 442-448) and neuropathic pain animal models (Ramer, M. S. and Bisby, M. A. (1999) Eur. J. Neurosci. 11, 837-846; Ro, L. S. et al. (1999); Herzberg, U. et al., Pain 79, 265-274 (1997) Neuroreport 8, 1613-1618; Theodosiou, M. et al. (1999) Pain 81, 245-255; Li, L. et al. (2003) Mol. Cell. Neurosci. 23, 232-250; Gwak, Y. S. et al. (2003) Neurosci. Lett. 336, 117-120).
It has also been shown that NGF secreted by tumor cells and tumor invading macrophages directly stimulates TrkA located on peripheral pain fibers. Using various tumor models in both mice and rats, it was demonstrated that neutralizing NGF with a monoclonal antibody inhibits cancer related pain to a degree similar or superior to the highest tolerated dose of morphine. Because TrkA kinase may serve as a mediator of NGF driven biological responses, inhibitors of TrkA and/or other Trk kinases may provide an effective treatment for chronic pain states.
Recent literature has also shown that overexpression, activation, amplification and/or mutation of Trk kinases are associated with many cancers including neuroblastoma (Brodeur, G. M., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2003, 3, 203-216), ovarian (Davidson. B., et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2003, 9, 2248-2259), colorectal cancer (Bardelli, A., Science 2003, 300, 949), melanoma (Truzzi, F., et al., Dermato-Endocrinology 2008, 3 (1), pp. 32-36), head and neck cancer (Yilmaz, T., et al., Cancer Biology and Therapy 2010, 10 (6), pp. 644-653), gastric carcinoma (Du, J. et al., World Journal of Gastroenterology 2003, 9 (7), pp. 1431-1434), lung carcinoma (Ricci A., et al., American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology 25 (4), pp. 439-446), breast cancer (Jin, W., et al., Carcinogenesis 2010, 31 (11), pp. 1939-1947), Glioblastoma (Wadhwa, S., et al., Journal of Biosciences 2003, 28 (2), pp. 181-188), medulloblastoma (Gruber-Olipitz, M., et al., Journal of Proteome Research 2008, 7 (5), pp. 1932-1944), secratory breast cancer (Euthus, D. M., et al., Cancer Cell 2002, 2 (5), pp. 347-348), salivary gland cancer (Li, Y.-G., et al., Chinese Journal of Cancer Prevention and Treatment 2009, 16 (6), pp. 428-430), papillary thyroid carcinoma (Greco, A., et al., Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology 2010, 321 (1), pp. 44-49) and adult myeloid leukemia (Eguchi, M., et al., Blood 1999, 93 (4), pp. 1355-1363). In preclinical models of cancer, non-selective small molecule inhibitors of Trk A, B and C were efficacious in both inhibiting tumor growth and stopping tumor metastasis (Nakagawara, A. (2001) Cancer Letters 169:107-114; Meyer, J. et al. (2007) Leukemia, 1-10; Pierottia, M. A. and Greco A., (2006) Cancer Letters 232:90-98; Eric Adriaenssens, E., et al. Cancer Res (2008) 68:(2) 346-351).
In addition, inhibition of the neurotrophin/Trk pathway has been shown to be effective in treatment of pre-clinical models of inflammatory diseases with NGF antibodies or non-selective small molecule inhibitors of Trk A. For example, inhibition of the neurotrophin/Trk pathway has been implicated in preclinical models of inflammatory lung diseases including asthma (Freund-Michel, V; Frossard, N., Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2008) 117(1), 52-76), interstitial cystitis (Hu Vivian Y; et. al. The Journal of Urology (2005), 173(3), 1016-21), inflammatory bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (Di Mola, F. F, et. al., Gut (2000) 46(5), 670-678) and inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (Dou, Y.-C., et. al. Archives of Dermatological Research (2006) 298(1), 31-37), eczema and psoriasis (Raychaudhuri, S. P., et al., J. Investigative Dermatology (2004) 122(3), 812-819).
The TrkA receptor is also thought to be critical to the disease process in the infection of the parasitic infection of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas disease) in human hosts (de Melo-Jorge, M. et al., Cell Host & Microbe (2007) 1(4), 251-261).
Trk inhibitors may also find use in treating disease related to an imbalance of the regulation of bone remodeling, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone metastases. Bone metastases are a frequent complication of cancer, occurring in up to 70 percent of patients with advanced breast or prostate cancer and in approximately 15 to 30 percent of patients with carcinoma of the lung, colon, stomach, bladder, uterus, rectum, thyroid, or kidney. Osteolytic metastases can cause severe pain, pathologic fractures, life-threatening hypercalcemia, spinal cord compression, and other nerve-compression syndromes. For these reasons, bone metastasis is a serious and costly complication of cancer. Therefore, agents that can induce apoptosis of proliferating osteoblasts would be highly advantageous. Expression of TrkA receptors has been observed in the bone forming area in mouse models of bone fracture (K. Asaumi, et al., Bone (2000) 26(6) 625-633). In addition, localization of NGF was observed in almost all bone forming cells (K. Asaumi, et al.). Recently, it was demonstrated that a Trk inhibitor inhibits the tyrosine signaling activated by neurotrophins binding to all three of the Trk receptors in human hFOB osteoblasts (J. Pinski, et al., (2002) 62, 986-989). These data support the rationale for the use of Trk inhibitors for the treatment of bone remodeling diseases, such as bone metastases in cancer patients.
Several classes of small molecule inhibitors of Trk kinases said to be useful for treating pain or cancer are known (Expert Opin. Ther. Patents (2009) 19(3), 305-319).
It has now been found that pyrrolidinyl urea, pyrrolidinyl thiourea and pyrrolidinyl guanidine compounds are inhibitors of TrkA, and may be useful for treating disorders and diseases such as pain, including chronic and acute pain. Compounds of the invention may be useful in the treatment of multiple types of pain including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and pain associated with cancer, surgery, and bone fracture. In addition, compounds of the invention may be useful for treating cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases and certain infectious diseases.

Such compositions form a further aspect of the invention. An example of a suitable oral dosage form is a tablet containing about 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 250 mg, or 500 mg of the compound of the invention compounded with about 90-30 mg anhydrous lactose, about 5-40 mg sodium croscarmellose, about 5-30 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (“PVP”) K30, and about 1-10 mg magnesium stearate. The powdered ingredients are first mixed together and then mixed with a solution of the PVP. The resulting composition can be dried, granulated, mixed with the magnesium stearate and compressed to tablet form using conventional equipment. An aerosol formulation can be prepared by dissolving the compound, for example 5-400 mg, of the invention in a suitable buffer solution, e.g. a phosphate buffer, adding a tonicifier, for example a salt such sodium chloride, if desired. The solution is typically filtered, for example using a 0.2 micron filter, to remove impurities and contaminants.
Another formulation may be prepared by mixing a compound described herein and a carrier or excipient. Suitable carriers and excipients are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in detail in, e.g., Ansel, Howard C., et al., Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, Alfonso R., et al. Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Raymond C. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. The formulations may also include one or more buffers, stabilizing agents, surfactants, wetting agents, lubricating agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opaquing agents, glidants, processing aids, colorants, sweeteners, perfuming agents, flavoring agents, diluents and other known additives to provide an elegant presentation of the drug (i.e., a compound described herein or pharmaceutical composition thereof) or aid in the manufacturing of the pharmaceutical product (i.e., medicament).
Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as defined hereinabove, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.

The following examples illustrate the invention. In the examples described below, unless otherwise indicated all temperatures are set forth in degrees Celsius. Reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Company, Lancaster, TCI or Maybridge, and were used without further purification unless otherwise indicated. THF, DCM, toluene, DMF and dioxane were purchased from Aldrich in Sure/Seal™ bottles and used as received.
The reactions set forth below were done generally under a positive pressure of nitrogen or argon or with a drying tube (unless otherwise stated) in anhydrous solvents, and the reaction flasks were typically fitted with rubber septa for the introduction of substrates and reagents via syringe. Glassware was oven dried and/or heat dried.
Column chromatography was done on a Biotage system (Manufacturer: Dyax Corporation) having a silica gel or C-18 reverse phase column, or on a silica SepPak cartridge (Waters).
Trk enzymatic selectivity was assessed using Omnia™ Kinase Assay reagents from Invitrogen Corp. Enzyme (TrkA from Invitrogen Corp.) and test compound (various concentrations) were incubated for 10 minutes at ambient temperature in a 384-well white polypropylene plate (Nunc catalog#267462). Omnia Tyr Peptide #4, as well as ATP, were then added to the plate. Final concentrations were as follows: 20 nM enzyme, 500 μM of ATP, 10 μM peptide substrate. The assay buffer consisted of 25 mM MOPS pH 7.5, 0.005% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 5 mM MgCl2. The production of phosphorylated peptide was monitored continuously for 70 minutes using a Molecular Devices FlexStation II384 microplate reader (excitation=360 nm; emission=485 nm). Initial rates were calculated from the progress curves. IC50 values were calculated from these rates using either a 4 or 5-parameter logistic curve fit.
Compounds of the invention had an average IC50 value below 1000 nM when tested in this assay. Certain compounds had an average IC50 value below 100 nM when tested in this assay.
Table A provides averaged IC50 values for compounds of the invention when tested in the assay of Example A, where A represents an averaged IC50 value <100 nM; B represents an averaged IC50 value from 100 to 1,000 nM; and C represents an averaged IC50 value from 1,000 to 10,000 nM.

Step A: Preparation of trans-1-benzyl-3-nitro-4-phenylpyrrolidine: To a DCM (2 L) solution of (E)-(2-nitrovinyl)benzene (149 g, 1.00 mol) was added TFA (19.5 mL, 0.250 mol), followed by cooling to −15° C. and then slow addition of a DCM (500 mL) solution of N-methoxymethyl-N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)benzylamine (274 g, 1.00 mol) over 3 hours, maintaining the reaction temperature between −15 and −10° C. The reaction was warmed up to ambient temperature and stirred for 18 hours, then washed with 2 N NaOH (500 mL) and treated with 2 N HCl (1 L). The resulting white suspension was stirred for 1 hour before being filtered and washed with DCM. DCM (1 L) and 2 N NaOH (750 mL) were then added to the collected white solid and stirred until all solid dissolved. After phase-separation, the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2×1 L). The combined organic layers were dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford the title product as an off-white solid (205 g, 73% yield). MS (apci) m/z=283.1 (M+H).
Step B: Preparation of trans-1-benzyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-3-amine: To a suspension of trans-1-benzyl-3-nitro-4-phenyl-pyrrolidine (93.9 g, 333 mmol) in EtOH (1.20 L) was added concentrated HCl (450 mL), followed by addition of zinc dust (173 g, 2.66 mol) in small portions over 1.5 hours while maintaining the temperature between 55-60 OC. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours, then cooled in an ice/water bath followed by addition of concentrated NH4OH (900 mL).

Step A: Preparation of ethyl 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate: A mixture of ethyl 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (0.600 g, 3.89 mmol), phenylboronic acid (0.498 g, 4.09 mmol), Cu(OAc)2 (0.530 g, 2.92 mmol), pyridine (0.630 mL, 7.78 mmol) in dry DMF (39 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water and the organic layer was removed. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×) and the combined organic layers were washed with water and saturated NaCl. The EtOAc solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (4:1 hexanes/EtOAc) to give the title compound (0.428 g, 48%). MS (apci) m/z=231.1 (M+H).
Step B: Preparation of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid. To a solution of ethyl 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (0.428 g, 1.86 mmol) in 1:1 MeOH/THF (8.0 mL) was added 1M LiOH (3.72 mL, 3.72 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The solvents were removed in vacuum, the residue was diluted with water and was extracted with Et2O (2×). The aqueous layer was treated with 1M HCl to pH 4-5 and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic fractions were washed with water and saturated NaCl. The EtOAc solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the crude product (0.280 g, 75%) that was used in the next step without further purification. MS (apci) m/z=203.1 (M+H).
Step C: Preparation of 1-((3S,4R)-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(2-methoxy-ethyl) pyrrolidin-3-yl)-3-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)urea: To a solution of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (50 mg, 0.25 mmol) and Et3N (0.039 mL, 0.30 mmol) in toluene (2 mL) was added diphenyl phosphorazidate (0.064 mL, 0.30 mmol). The solution was heated at reflux for 1 hour and was cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was diluted with THF (1 mL) and (3S,4R)-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(2-methoxyethyl)pyrrolidin-3-amine dihydrochloride (98 mg, 0.30 mmol) was added followed by and Et3N (0.108 mL, 0.90 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was removed and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (5% MeOH/DCM) to give the title compound (66 mg, 59%). MS (apci) m/z=456.2 (M+H).
